Extremely rare view of a wild coyote pack stalking prey (shown at end in slow motion). It is very difficult to get coyotes and deer in the same video. This shows interaction between coyotes and deer. Video shows a normal deer and one with large spotted ears grazing. A coyote pack approaches. The first coyote appears to snap up and eat a small animal and then passes through a row of trees. The deer may not notice it. It walks by a motionless deer. (Deer often hide by remaining motionless -- hunters can walk by them and not notice.) Another coyote appears in the south field. It too passes through the row of trees. Two deer see this one and flee. The motionless deer, which the other coyote passed by, remains motionless. Then a coyote runs and quickly changes direction near the motionless deer. It must have just then realized it was there and maybe viewed it as prey. This time (around 6 minutes after the first coyote had passed near it), the motionless deer suddenly bolts from its hiding place. The deer runs across the field to the other deer and afterwards it twists its head around to look at the coyote. After this, both deer watch the coyote in a small nearby valley. One deer was quite odd. It had large spotted ears and spots on its neck. There appeared to have been two deer lying in the tall grass. The video illustrates an important deer method for eluding predators - invisibility. They simply disappear. Fawns predominantly use this strategy, they don't move. However, adult deer also simply disappear into their surroundings. This strategy worked here. The coyote walked by the deer without noticing it. This was difficult to film because I was in a house going from window to window and unable to use a tripod. The vegetation obscured the coyotes on the north side of the field. Also because I had a black and white viewfinder, I didn't even realize I had filmed the coyotes and deer when they were in the same spot, until I processed the video, so I tried to enhance it, as shown here. An even more enhanced video can be seen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5L4ioq6H_M In this video, the slow motion portion is slowed even more to give a better view of the coyotes and deer interacting. The first slow motion clip shows a coyote emerging through the grass near the motionless deer. The second slow motion clip shows the coyote running near the motionless deer. It appeared to leap toward the deer and then change direction. It appeared to then run to the north after the deer bolted. However I was able to get good close-up shots of the coyotes and of the deer with speckled ears. **Coyotes can run at speeds up to 43 mph and can jump over 4 meters. It runs with its tail down. Some coyotes found in the east can weight over 100 lbs (see http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:WN3D-Pm0RMAJ:icwdm.org/wildlife/coyotes.asp+%22Black%22+%22coyote%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=us). Comments and videos show these monster coyotes, e.g. see the discussion under, "Coyote attack," at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NT6sePYyeL0. (These may be hybrids, such as of wolf and coyote.) The coyote (Canis latrans) is also called the prairie wolf. It is a mammal belonging to the order carnivora and related to the domestic dog. They range from Panama through Canada. The name coyote came from Mexican Spanish. The Latin name means barking dog. Nineteen subspecies exist. Its fur is grayish-brown to yellowish-brown and can be black or white. It has a long bushy tail. The coyote is very vocal with a number of sounds including barks, yips, whines, growls, and howls. Coyotes rarely attack humans (but the frequency is much less than attacks by domestic dogs) and the coyotes are often provoked.
